When the New York Rangers selected Andre Dore 60th overall in the 1978 Amateur Draft, they were looking for a solid defensive defenseman in an effort to bring down their goals against and to provide some protection for starting goalie John Davidson.

Dore spent most of his junior days in Hull, first playing with the Festivals in 1975-76. The following year the Hull franchise was named the Olympiques. In 72 games he had 51 points to go along with his 178 minutes in penalties. In his final year of junior, Dore played for three teams, the Olympiques, the Trois-Rivieres Draveurs, and the Quebec Remparts.

Turning pro in the fall of 1978, he joined New Haven of the AHL and played in 71 games while making it into the Rangers' lineup on two occasions in his first two years in the organization. In 1980 he was inserted into the New York lineup for 15 games, but it was the 1981-82 when he started in 56 games, the most of any of his years in New York.

Dore also played a year-and-a-half with the St. Louis Blues and wore the Quebec Nordiques uniform for 25 games in 1983-84. His NHL career ended in 1984-85 when he played 25 games for the Rangers.
